Kill Ugly Radio | Frank Zappa & Elsewhere
Frank Zappa news, weird links, lumpy gravy. Wanna bun?
Barry needs backup.
Barry needs a drink.
Barry needs an enema.
Barry needs to wear a suit.
Barry needs to slow down!
At least that’s what Google thinks. You too can waste oodles of time by just typing “{your name} needs” in the Google searchbox — oh the fun! (via presurfer)
Yahoo!’s Top 100 Weird Sites should keep you occupied for a while. From Sexy Soviets to Pets In Clothes to Rent-A-Peasant, there’s something for everyone I reckon.
The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it is open.
About time for our monthly chicken post, don’t you think?
It’s Gmail-mania all over again: wordpress.com has given me another invite for a free weblog (see mine, shamefully gathering dust). Want one? Your mom? Your grandma? Your significant Other One? Bueller? Just drop a note in the comments saying what you’d use your weblog for…

Kind request to people who respond to messages in mailinglists: please remove any extraneous, unnecessary, irrelevant, asci-riddled, thread-obfuscating crap from your replies please! Thank you!
… and there was much rejoicing as The Imaginary Publisher and The Good Doctor successfully installed the Apple iSight webcam!
Yes indeed folks: it is now possible for you to bust my balls about the wiki chatwise while looking me straight in the eye — provided you have a webcam and an AIM account. Ain’t technology a thing of wonder…
Here’s a little brainteaser, reportedly written by Albert Einstein who claimed 98% of the world’s population could not figure it out. Maybe you can?
There are five houses in a row in different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet, one of which is a Walleye Pike.
The question is — who owns the fish?
The CIA is looking for a graphic designer. Neat! No such fun as photoshopping non-existent nuclear missile bases for a living.
Who’s this then? Sophia from The Golden Girls? Nope. It’s Phil Spector on trial for the February 2003 shooting death of B-movie star Lana Clarkson. I think Phil’s in dire need of a benevolent hairconsultant.

Today is apparently turning into Swedish Day here at KUR. One Kim Svendsen has been stomping through the Zappa Albums section like the proverbial elephant in the porcelain shop, making such insightful comments as “SO FUCK YA ALL RIGHT UP YA STINKY FAT ASSES!!”
Correct me if I’m wrong but: I do not think this constitutes an exciting, hitherto unknown Clue of Conceptual Continuity.
So Miss or Mr Svendsen: since you didn’t even put in a valid email address where I might have contacted you, you are as of now IP-banned.
Skol!
So many things to do, it boggles the mind: witness a grunion run, visit a zircon rock concert, create the ultimate Frank Zappa encyclopaedia.
Took the Commonly Confused Words Test. I am, so it seems, “advanced”: 100% Beginner, 80% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 72% Expert.
As stated in the result page: “This is an exceptional score.”
So there! Let’s see yours then?
What can you do that’s fantastic?
I have another 4 gmail invites waiting to be sent out. In good procrastinator fashion, the first 4 respondants who comment with what they consider a good way to announce that one has 4 gmail accounts waiting to be sent out, will –erh– get the gmail accounts.
Update: I now have 10 of these to give away. Get them off my hands, please!
